Ian Dickinson
Stage・Screen・Voice
Ian Dickinson was born in Plymouth, in the southwest of England, and spent his formative years in St. Germans, a quaint village in southeast Cornwall. In 1983, he moved to London with dreams of becoming an actor, inspired by his early passion for drama during school.
A chance connection, however, led him into the music industry. By 1985, Ian had co-founded and managed the publishing company Anxious Music, as well as the independent label Anxious Records. In 1988, he stepped down as Managing Director of both companies to return to his original ambitions. He began studying drama and English literature at The Working Men’s College in London while freelancing in the music industry.
In 1995, Ian relocated to Berlin and now divides his time between his homes in the German capital and his hometown of Plymouth. Since 2017, he has held dual British-German citizenship.
